4th CEN-CENELEC Annual Meeting held in Bucharest

The theme of this years' Annual Meeting is:

European Standards in support of market surveillance
Wednesday 25 June in Bucharest

The application of European Standards is a concrete way for manufacturers to demonstrate compliance of products with the essential requirements of those European Directives incorporating the principle of presumption of conformity. In this context the new legislative framework gives special emphasis to conformity assessment and market surveillance.

Adequate market surveillance is necessary to support the principles embodied in the New Approach Directives. Therefore the European Standards Organizations should use their strengths in the area of European Standards, to assist in the development of efficient European infrastructures to coordinate market surveillance policy and processes.

Strengthening the market through effective surveillance and the key role standards can play will be key points during the contributions and panel discussion.
